A Villa Experience villa rental in Mexico includes a private chef, daily housekeeping, and a dedicated concierge as standard. Many properties — particularly our flagships in Punta Mita, Los Cabos, and the Riviera Maya — also include a butler, bartender, and pool attendant.
Standard at every villa
Two or three meals a day, planned around your group's tastes, dietary needs, and the rhythm of the trip. Groceries are billed at cost — no markup, no minimum. Our chefs cook traditional Mexican alongside whatever your family actually wants to eat, from a kids' breakfast at seven to a twelve-person tasting menu on the last night.
Available at flagship villas
On the flagship properties — most of our Punta Mita, Los Cabos, and Riviera Maya estates — a butler runs the household: greets you on arrival, paces meals, manages the staff, and quietly anticipates the things you didn't think to ask for. We'll tell you which villas include one before you book.
Standard at every villa
Beds turned, kitchens reset, towels and linens refreshed — every day of your stay, while you're at the beach or the pool. The house you walked into on Saturday looks the same way every morning of the trip.
Standard at every villa
One point of contact for the entire stay. Airport transfers, restaurant reservations, fishing charters, surf lessons, sunset dinners on the sand, anniversary cakes, sitter referrals — your concierge handles the logistics before you arrive in Mexico and stays on call throughout.
A handpicked collection across Punta Mita, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, and the Riviera Maya. Every villa is fully staffed with a private chef, daily housekeeping, and a dedicated concierge.
Iyari Estates · Punta Mita
An eight-bedroom estate inside Iyari, the most private of the Punta Mita reserves, sited at the edge of the peninsula where the coastline turns inward toward the bay. Built for an extended-family takeover of eighteen — three generations, a private chef, and a butler on a headset, with the surf at La Lancha five minutes by cart.
Discover Casa Koko Iyari
La Punta Estates · Punta Mita
Twenty-four thousand square feet of oceanfront on the Pacific edge of La Punta, with the surf break at the foot of the lawn and a forty-foot infinity pool. Built for a wedding under fifty, or a corporate offsite that takes the whole property.
Kupuri Estates · Punta Mita
A six-bedroom contemporary at the southern edge of Kupuri, with a quieter beach approach and a kitchen built around a wood-fired hearth. Suits a friends' group of fourteen that wants the staff and the privacy at intimate scale.
Kupuri Estates · Punta Mita
Seven bedrooms across two pavilions linked by an open-air gallery, set back from the Kupuri beachfront with a long lap pool. Built for two families travelling together — adjacent suites, a single kitchen, twenty at the outdoor table.
La Punta Estates · Punta Mita
A six-bedroom house on La Punta's interior bluff, looking across the fairways to the Pacific. The right villa for a group of twelve that wants the address and the staff at a quieter cadence — long lunches, short cart rides, golf in the morning.
Mismaloya · Puerto Vallarta
Ten bedrooms terraced into the cliffs above Mismaloya Bay, with the Sierra Madre dropping into the Pacific behind the pool. Built for a multigenerational takeover of twenty, or a wedding that holds the whole guest list on one property.
Conchas Chinas · Puerto Vallarta
A six-bedroom house in Conchas Chinas, with terraces stepped down to a private swim cove and Vallarta's lights visible across the bay. Suits a group of twelve that wants walking distance to the Zona Romántica without giving up the privacy.
Amapas · Puerto Vallarta
Eight bedrooms across three adjoining villas in the hills of Amapas, sharing a single staff and a single rooftop pool. Suits a group of sixteen that wants separate sleeping wings — privacy at night, a shared table at dinner.
Sierra del Mar · Puerto Vallarta
Ten bedrooms above Sierra del Mar, twenty minutes south of Vallarta, with a private beach engineered specifically for this house. The most remote of the Vallarta flagships — for a takeover of twenty that wants jungle behind it, no other property in sight.
Pedregal · Los Cabos
Eight bedrooms on the Pacific side of Pedregal, with the Land's End rocks framing the view from the infinity pool. Suits a group of eighteen that wants Cabo nightlife ten minutes by car, and Pacific quiet the moment the gate closes.
Puerto Los Cabos · Los Cabos
A five-bedroom villa inside Puerto Los Cabos, on the calmer Sea of Cortez side, with a Greg Norman fairway behind the pool. The smallest house in the collection — for a group of ten that wants one table, one chef, and the slower San José pace.
East Cape · Los Cabos
Eight bedrooms on the East Cape, an hour north of San José, with a private beach, a stable, and the kind of dark sky you can't get on the corridor. The right villa for a group of fifteen that wants to be away from Cabo's hotels and crowds entirely.
Puerto Aventuras · Riviera Maya
Fifteen bedrooms across a single oceanfront compound in Puerto Aventuras, halfway between Tulum and Playa del Carmen, with a private dock and a Caribbean beach. The largest house in the collection — built for a wedding of seventy-five with thirty-three sleeping on property.
Puerto Aventuras · Riviera Maya
Twelve bedrooms next door to Hacienda del Mar, sharing the same gates and the same staff bench, with a separate beachfront and a quieter pool deck. Suits a takeover of twenty-four — or a wedding that books both haciendas as a single ninety-person estate.
Cancun · Quintana Roo
A six-bedroom oceanfront villa on Cancun's quieter northern shore, with two storeys of suites stacked over a beachfront pool deck. Built for a group of sixteen that wants Caribbean reefs five minutes off the dock and the hotel zone twenty minutes away when it wants it.

Explore the Los Cabos volumeThe Caribbean side. Cenotes you swim in. Mayan ruins you wake up next to.

A villa rental in Mexico can be many things. A self-serve transaction. A skinned hotel suite. A house with a key under the mat. Ours is none of those.
Every villa in our collection is an entire private property. The pool is yours. The chef cooks for your group only. The concierge works for your trip, not for a thousand other rooms. Ten guests in a six-bedroom villa cost less per person than ten guests in five hotel rooms — and those ten people share one table, one pool deck, one rhythm. For families, groups, and multigenerational trips, that math is the difference.
Villa Experience was founded in Mexico in 2006, and our team has been here ever since. Thousands of groups across nine destinations have stayed with us. We know which villas have a tide that comes up to the patio in October, which ones have plumbing issues someone hasn't caught yet, and which chefs you'll still be talking about two years later. That kind of knowledge is accumulated, not bought.
Most villa websites give you 400 listings, a date picker, and a price filter. We send three to five villas matched to your group, your dates, and the kind of trip you're describing — within 24 hours of your inquiry. The shortlist is the value. Anyone can show you a database; we tell you which homes are right.
Oliver Weickardt Founder · Villa Experience Puerto Vallarta, MexicoWhen I started Villa Experience in 2006, the question I got most was why villas? The answer hasn't changed in twenty years. A villa, properly staffed, run by people who actually know it, is the closest thing to renting a Mexican family's house — except the family is a chef who cooks the way your grandmother would, a concierge who knows the surf instructor's brother, and a housekeeper who will turn down your beds while you're watching the sunset.
That kind of stay does not happen by accident. It happens because someone is on the ground in Mexico, every day, watching the villas, knowing the staff, fixing the small things before they become big ones. That's what our team does. We've placed thousands of groups in our collection since 2006, across Punta Mita, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, the Riviera Maya, and the Pacific Coast. Most of them come back.
The collection itself is now 400+ villas across nine destinations. Some are flagship estates we know by every plate in the kitchen — the four Puerto Vallarta homes we manage directly are run by my team in PV, and I've been to most of the rest. The others are properties we've vetted, photographed, and revisited enough times that we can honestly tell you which one is right for your trip.
If you're considering a private villa stay in Mexico — for a family reunion, a wedding, a milestone, or a quiet week with the people you love most — write me. The team is here, in Mexico, and we'd be glad to plan the trip with you.
Dates, destination, group size, what you're celebrating. Form, WhatsApp, or phone — whatever's easiest. Two minutes.

The balance is due 60 days before arrival. The villa is held the moment your deposit clears.
Airport transfer, chef menus, excursions, celebrations — your dedicated concierge has it ready before you arrive and stays on call throughout.
A few notes from recent stays. Read the full set on Google and Yelp.
This is a fantastic home with amazing staff. We celebrated my fiancé's 30th birthday party here with a large group of 16. Everything was perfectly arranged and we had an absolute blast.
From the moment we landed, the team had everything handled. Three meals a day cooked by a chef who learned our kids' favourites by Tuesday. We've already booked our return for next December.
We had ninety-two for the wedding and thirty-three sleeping on property. The Hacienda team made it feel like one house, not a venue. The day before, the bride's mother said it was the most beautiful place she'd ever stood.
Every Villa Experience villa rental in Mexico includes a private chef (two or three meals daily, with groceries billed at cost), daily housekeeping, and a dedicated concierge. Many flagship properties — particularly in Punta Mita, Los Cabos, and the Riviera Maya — also include a butler, bartender, and pool attendant. Your concierge arranges restaurant reservations, excursions, spa treatments, airport transfers, and celebrations.

A 50% deposit secures your villa, with the balance due 60 days before arrival. Most groups go from inquiry to confirmed booking in under a week.
Villa Experience offers villas from intimate 2-bedroom retreats to grand 20+ bedroom estates. Our collection accommodates couples, families, multigenerational groups of 30 or more, destination weddings up to 200 guests, and corporate retreats. For extra-large groups, we coordinate adjacent villas — most notably the four-hacienda compound at Fatima Bay (Hacienda del Mar, Jaguar, Magica, Corazon) which combines for up to 51 bedrooms and 100+ guests.
Yes — destination weddings, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, corporate retreats, and family reunions are core to what our concierge team does. Many flagship estates have purpose-built event spaces; Casa Bellamar in Los Cabos and the Hacienda compound in Riviera Maya are both designed for celebrations of 100+ guests. Your concierge coordinates with local wedding planners, caterers, florists, photographers, and musicians.
For peak season (December through April) and holidays, book 6–12 months in advance, especially for large villas and Punta Mita and Los Cabos.

Villa Experience has operated in Mexico since 2006, has placed thousands of groups in fully staffed villas across nine destinations, and holds a 5.0-star average across 117 verified reviews on Google and Yelp. Our team is on the ground in Mexico — not a remote OTA. We curate 400+ villas across the country, with four properties in Puerto Vallarta managed directly by the founding team. Those are the numbers we can speak to.
A private chef in a Villa Experience villa typically prepares two or three meals daily — breakfast, a multi-course lunch, and a multi-course dinner — planned around your group's tastes, dietary needs, and the rhythm of the trip. Groceries are billed at cost (no markup, no minimum). Most chefs cook traditional Mexican alongside whatever your family asks for, from kids' breakfasts to twelve-person tasting menus.
A Villa Experience villa is an entire private property — the pool, the staff, and the schedule are yours alone. For groups of six or more, the per-person cost is often lower than equivalent hotel suites at a comparable luxury tier, because villas are priced per-property and meals are prepared in-house at grocery cost rather than ordered from restaurant menus. Hotels offer convenience and amenities like spas and gyms; villas offer privacy, scale, and the rhythm of a home.
Yes — every Villa Experience villa includes a dedicated concierge as standard. Many flagship properties also include a butler, bartender, and pool attendant. The full staff complement is listed on every villa page; if you're not sure which villas in our collection include a butler, our team will tell you in your shortlist.
Multigenerational trips are one of the most common reasons groups book with us. Our villas range from 6-bedroom homes that work for 12 to 15-bedroom estates that work for 33. Most include separate casitas or wings that give grandparents privacy from teens, plus space for kids' meals at different times — the chef and concierge plan around your group's daily rhythm, not the other way around.
It depends on the group. For service and golf, Punta Mita — gated, fully staffed, two Jack Nicklaus courses. For restaurants and culture, Puerto Vallarta — colonial charm, Banderas Bay, the Zona Romántica. For nightlife and sportfishing, Los Cabos — Cabo San Lucas energy or San José del Cabo's quieter side. For cenotes, ruins, and the Caribbean, the Riviera Maya — Tulum's bohemian luxury, Playa del Carmen's beach-bar scene, or Puerto Aventuras' marina calm. Our concierge can recommend based on what your group is hoping for.
